From 3533e50cbee8ff086bfa04176ac42a01ee3db37d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sandeen Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2021 17:49:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] seq_file: disallow extremely large seq buffer allocations commit 8cae8cd89f05f6de223d63e6d15e31c8ba9cf53b upstream. There is no reasonable need for a buffer larger than this, and it avoids int overflow pitfalls.
